Enemies Encountered: N/A (4)

Guide to reaching the Clock Room in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Learn how to use the Gold and Silver rings to reveal a new path and obtain the Holy Glasses.

If you remember that you earlier in the game got the Gold and Silver rings. When you selected them on the menu they have an item description. When you put the two together they saw ‘Wear In Clock Tower’ this is referring to the room in the Marble Gallery where you first met Maria that is where our destination is from the Royal Chapel to the Clock Room.

Once you have gotten to the Clock Room equip the two rings and the room will react accordingly to you equipping the two rings. After 13 rings the floor at the bottom will open up and a new path will be revealed to you. After the floor is opened you don’t need to have the Gold and Silver rings equipped anymore.

Once you have dropped down the room on the left will be a save and the room on the right will give you the Life and Heart Max Ups. Then go to the elevator that is in the middle of the room and press down to activate the elevator.

This next room in the castle will be a big square room with two paths, it doesn’t matter which path you take just take the opposite path on the way back. When you get down to the bottom there will be another elevator it will take you to go talk with Maria and see if Alucard has any new developments in finding Richter. After the chat, Maria will give you Holy Glasses. These glasses are what you need to get to advance the story of this game.

However, if we are good gamers we would wear the glasses and use them as intended with the Richter fight but we aren’t going to be doing that because we would get the good ending and not the bad ending. We don’t want that right now. Our objective now is to go save in the save room in the Castle Keep then go face Richter again and beat him like we did to get the worst ending. You will see that the cut scene for this ending is different than if we didn’t talk to Maria and get the Holy Glasses.

Once you are in the Castle Keep go face Richter and beat him again. It should be a little easier since you know his tactics. After this fight, you will get a different ending than you did before talking with Maria.
